True compassion is to benefit others unconditionally.

If you live with the expectation to please others and be treated well in return, then once the expectations are not met, you will be disappointed and upset.

[A Word of Chan]

If you live with the expectation to please others and be treated well in return, then once the expectations are not met, you will be disappointed and upset. True compassion is to benefit others unconditionally. One who has true compassion will have no enemies. Those who are truly compassionate will be filled with peace and joy, as no external things can harm them.
